[comp.sources.wanted] Would like sources to the Simplex algorithm, thanks

bnfb@Apple.COM (Bjorn Freeman-Benson) (07/27/89)

I would like to find the source code for an implementation of the
Simplex algorithm.  I would prefer to have a Smalltalk
implementation, but I doubt that there is one.  I gather that there
are a number of FORTRAN versions, or a C or Pascal or, in fact,
anything at all would be great.

I have numerous books that almost, but not quite, give the algorithm
(leaving out corner cases and "trivial" details).  I have some
compiled versions of Simplex, but I really need the sources.

Thanks,

As to books on the subject, have you looked at Gass, Linear
Programming, and/or Hadley, Linear Programming.  I do not think that
these two leave much out, even if this does not solve your problem
of getting the computer code sources.
